“Purchased NOCO Chargers without any problems - Great website and great customer support! I'm sold!”

James C.
12/8/22

Great Company - I purchased several NOCO chargers a few months ago and they were delivered within a couple of days. I'm very happy with my purchase and have returned to make additional orders since that time. Great customer service and fast response. I had a question about my order and reached out and the support Agent (I believe Laura) responded quickly to my ticket submission. I'm able to login to my account on GoVets with the following URL (https://www.govets.com/customer/account/) to view the status of my orders. They also have a Help page where I was able to get in touch with the Chat Support team. I would return because I am not part of the GoVets Medallion Program, which now gives me additional coupon codes that I can use towards future purchases. I am only a Bronze Member now, but it looks like they have some pretty cool Loyalty benefits that would keep customers coming back: https://www.govets.com/govets-medallion-program I am an engineer and I work on the Space Coast of Florida. I used this charger as a trickle charger for my Trolling Motor battery for my boat! Take care! James

“Stay Away from this site”

Larry A.
5/15/22

Made a purchase. Within 3 minutes of making purchase, received email stating item was out of stock. Long story short, I ended up filing a complaint with my credit card company. The credit card company refunded my total payment. Not a conditional refund, a total refund within 5 minutes of me contacting them. Credit Card company will either eat the charge, or get their money back from GoVets. Just not a good company to do any business with.

Hi Larry - Sorry for the later reply since SiteJabber is not really one of the top review platforms out there... but we want to make sure we're address customer concerns on all channels!:-) Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced. Your situation sounds like an unfortunate hiccup in our inventory system, which shouldn't have happened. Typically, our platform is updated in real-time to ensure product availability aligns with what is advertised. It appears that in your case, there was an oversight or a delay in the system updating the availability of the seat cushion.

We understand the frustration that comes with placing an order only to find out it's not available. We are consistently working to improve our inventory management to avoid situations like this. Thank you for also sharing the quick action your credit card company took; that feedback will aid us in refining our own refund processes. We'd love another chance to serve you and make things right. Please know that we're committed to enhancing your shopping experience, and your insights play a significant role in that effort.

So many things have changed about GoVets over the past 2 years... I'm sure you'll appreciate that changes.
- Our Technology is improved. Our site performance and search optimization is constantly being improved.
- Our Customer Support team has been back on Phone support for all of 2023 and our Chat support team is outstanding.
- Our staff (phones, tickets and chats) is 100% USA-based.
- Give us a shot... If you tell our support team your order number (above) and we verify that it's your name, we'll give you an extra $20 store credit to prove it.:-) If they ask you who brought this up, just mention Marc and SiteJabber and I'll vouch for you.

Take care
- GoVets Support

Absolutely no customer service at all. Tried email, text and phone calls. Do not take the chance that your order will go well. I bought a computer part and suddenly the website said it was out of stock. I got charged anyway and could not cancel my order. My only recourse is to dispute the charge with my bank. I doubt there's a single veteran working there.

Hi Howard,

First off, I want to extend our sincerest apologies for the experience you had. We're always aiming to do right by our customers, and it sounds like we dropped the ball this time. The issues with inventory and lack of customer service you faced should not have occurred. I assure you that we've made tremendous improvements to our systems since that time to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.

On a brighter note, GoVets has been making strides in the past two years. For starters, we've ramped up our tech to offer a faster, more efficient shopping experience. Secondly, we're back with phone support in 2023, in addition to a top-notch chat support team. And yes, all of our support staff is based right here in the USA.

We'd genuinely appreciate another chance to make things right for you. If you get in touch with our support team and verify your previous order, we'll gladly offer you an extra $20 in store credit. Just mention your order and date/timelines along with my name, Marc, and SiteJabber, and I'll vouch for you.

Thanks for your understanding, and we hope to earn back your trust.

Take care,
GoVets Support

Took the money immediately but did Not ship the product.
After 10 days I inquire about my order. I had being told they are out of stock( STILL ADVERTISED TO BUY NOW!) and reimbursed my purchase.
Is this a serious business or just money transaction with no interest paid?

Hello Jin,

After looking into your order (000354258), we see that you reached out to us on 7/26 to return the item. On 8/9/23 we sent you the return details (where to send it back and an RA#). We emailed you again on 8/15/23 and 8/22/23 asking if this had been sent back yet and there was no response from you.

We work very hard getting returns completed in a timely matter, but it does require communication from the customer, too. Please reach out to customer service as soon as possible with the return tracking details from UPS so we can get this completed for you.

Thank you,
GoVets Support

Tip for consumers:
They offer free shipping on all of their products. I browsed around and noticed that they have many "heavy" items and pallets that also include free shipping. I also just found that they donate a portion of sales to Veteran NonProfits. They have another part of their site called GoVets Giving (https://giving.govets.com) which includes a directly of Veteran NonProfits that can be my beneficiary. This would be cool if I made tons of purchases online because they donate for me...

Products used:
NOCO Genius Battery. Here is a Link to the item on GoVets: https://www.govets.com/noco**************6808503.html

Here is a quick description of the Product: Automotive Battery Chargers & Jump Starters, Type: Automatic Charger, Battery Maintainer, Automatic Charger/Maintainer GENIUS1
